2013 and earlier Cadillac CTS Lease Questions

Comments

yeah im waiting, however i might change my mind to the dodge challenger, i test drove one and the v8 blew my mind... about $200 cheaper than the cts. however im worried about rwd and summer tires. the charger is even a better choice comes with a lot more options than the cts adaptive cruse control, collision warning, heated and cooled cup holders and only 340 a month! i dunno i'm really confused dunno what to choose, thank god i still have some time on my current lease... waiting for the auto show hopefully something catchs my eye. i also noticed that all the cts coups here in michigan esp around Detroit are driven by some old old old people... not sure if i dig that

i wouldnt get real wheel drive ,, its nice to have the stability of all wheel drive esp in the rain or snow,,,i leased a 2007 cts rear wheel drive my wife couldnt get it up the drive way with a dusting of snow,, then in a rainstorm it almost hydroplaned into a guardrail,, when i first leased it i intended to buy itwhite diamond with a black interior,,, after the experiance in rain and snow we let it go,,, i now have a srx all wheel it a great car and u can feel it hugging the road,its an option to buy, its the same system as the cts... i saw some picks the new cts i think looks like the gm concept the front like the cielthe thing is if i dont make a move whats the interest rates in a year

Looking to lease a 2013 CTS-V Sedan. Can someone help me with the residual? Is it still 53%. What kind of payments would I expect with 5k down and a tax rate of 8.25 and a sticker of about 72k? I am looking for a 39 month lease with15k miles.

I can help you mpnx2. Ally's March base lease rate and residual value for a 39-month lease of a 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are 2.3% and 53%.

When negotiating your deal on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $2,690 cash incentive that General Motors is currently providing on 36-month leases of it.

I see that you are considering making a $5,000 down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers not to make large down payments on leased vehicles. Those who do risk losing part or all of the money that they laid out if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher it's much safer to go with a zero down lease.

Thanks for the advice Car man. I did stumble upon your advice regarding the downpayment in an article here at Edmunds.com. I am working several dealers for numbers currently. Knowing of the 2690 incentive helps a bunch. Funny I didnt see that incentive listed on the Cadillac website.

Hi Car_man, thanks for all your helpful information on here. I'm looking at leasing a 2013 CTS-V Wagon. Looking at the manual transmission, which there aren't many out there so it would probably come from out of state.

I'm wondering what the lease rate and residual would be for 24 month or 36 month, 15k per year. I can put money down, but based on your previous post, it seems like the zero down is the best way to go.

jdubyamn,I'm sure Car_man will give you specifics, but as of a few weeks ago it was a 2.3% lease rate and 53% residual for 15k miles at 36 months. Be aware, there is no longer a 2% reduction in residual for manual trans, and that was new as of March, so make sure the dealer is aware (had to remind mine).

I had to do a build order to get the car I wanted, you might want to consider the same. The dealer I used sells a lot of Vs and drop ships them across the county. PM me for details if you're interested. As far as I know, they're still accepting orders for 2013MY.

BTW, I picked up my wagon last week. You will love this car, it's so much fun.

do u think gm will put some money in the 2 yr lease on the cts coupe like they did last april ?righr now its just not enough,,, thanks regards happy holiday mr coupe by the way did u make it out to the car show

Hi pinibo. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2013 Cadillac CTS Sedan that has an MSRP of $50,530 and a selling price of $46,171 through Ally right now for 24-months with 12,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $610.

The payment for an otherwise identical lease with 10,000 miles per year would be $589.

Most people roll the sales tax into their payment in states where they are allowed to.

Would this also apply to a lease? plus what is the lease rate? and residual? and how would I figure out the payment for a 36 mo lease (15,000 per yr)? (I live in Indiana = 7% tax rate)(Dealer in Ky) or what should I be looking for (mindful of) when I go to dealer?

those numbers sound very high ,,how much is the car ,,and what are the total rebates on car also your putting over 4000 down with the trade in find another dealer dont mention the trade in find out deal then bring trade in into equasion into the # s

Hi Allen. The $2,000 dealer cash is not available on leases of this car, but there is an even better $2,800 cash incentive on 36-month leases.

Please see my previous post for the lease information that you're looking for.

There's nothing wrong with trading in your current vehicle when leasing a new one, however you should have the dealer cut you a check for any equity that you have in your trade rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease.

what a diff 1 year makes the deals were better last year at this point guess car sales are good,,,,the lease on my srx i up and i really though i would see some better numbers,,so far i am at 515 1300 out of pocket premium w nav crome rims awd 52.640 coupe

You guys talking about "taking vasoline to the dealer" ... I just have a question.

wtf?

Why don't you stand up to the dealer, figure out exactly where their numbers are coming from - as in that last case, figure out where that extra $30-40 a mo is coming from and if you don't agree with it, NEGOTIATE. OR WALK! Find another dealer that won't d!ck around. Seriously, it's so sad to see you all talk about things like you're being held hostage by the dealers and seemingly are just spectators in this process.

On the other hand, maybe I shouldn't complain since all you people that overpay allow me to negotiate much better deals.
